1922

Have you forgotten to send Carroll the five dollars for the current year's dues? I hope not for the support of all is needed to keep our treasury respectable. Certainly the amount assessed is a modest one, particularly when you consider it carries with it a subscription to our ALUMNI MAGAZINE which recognizes no peer in its field.

By his election as its president, Bill Angell was honored recently by the Vermont Medical Society.

Alden James, with his family, spent a few days in Hanover the latter part of August. The Edward L. Sharps were there for a day in mid-September.

Effective September 1, Ced Porter became associated with the firm of Heard, Smith, Porter & Chittick, a newly formed Boston law firm specializing in patent, trade mark, unfair competition and copyright law, federal trade regulations and anti-trust matters. Recently of the firm of Dike, Porter & Sanborn, Ced has had many years of experience in that special field of law.

Susan Hight is a popular and active participant in affairs musical. Recently she was a soloist in a concert by New England Conservatory students given in the Boston outdoor Hatch Shell. Musical talent in a daughter of Bob Might's certainly does not seem unnatural.

Anne Morrell was graduated last June from Vermont Junior College and spent the summer in Holland as a member of the Experiment in International Living group.

By way of reassurance to Brooks Brothers customers at the time of the ownership and management change in 1946, John Wood stated he would sooner be seen wearing a zoot suit on Times Square than tamper with Brooks policies and that one of the policies is to deal in what a man should wear, not what some women think he should wear. At least an article in the September issue of Coronet claims that John said that.

It was good to see Spic Saunders recently during his attendance at a convention in Boston and to find that he has overcome almost completely the arthritic condition with which he was afflicted a couple years ago. His recovery has been so thorough that he looks not one bit changed since our reunion in 1947.

Another welcome visitor from the Middle West was Roy Ball who came east with Dorothy to enter their third and last daughter in Abbott Academy at Andover, Mass.

Insufficient advance notice prevented the planning that would have been necessary to have the proper size welcoming committee out for Roy and Spic. Fran Leland, CarrollDwight and your correspondent lunched with them, the latter gleaning the news items that follow immediately hereafter.

A daughter, Lynn, was born to Mr. & Mrs. Donald Bacon last June. The mother is the former Barbara Ball.

A son, Curtis Jr., was born to Mr. & Mrs. Curtis P. Kimball in August. The mother is the former Ann Saunders.

A son, David, was born to Mr. & Mrs. John LeFeber in September. The mother is the former Suzanne Leland.

Did you ever try to carry on an intelligent conversation with a man freshly arrived in the state of grandparenthood? Can you imagine what it would be with three such? But anyway, hearty congratulations to Roy and Dorothy, Spic and Mildred, Fran and Lucy.

Gretchen Siegfried was a bridesmaid for a Colby Junior College classmate at a wedding in Newton, Mass., in September. Your reporter had a chance to visit with her at the reception.

An offering of school bonds by that city in September revealed that Duke Vosburgh is chairman of the West Hartford, Conn., board of finance.

The London Harness Company of Boston has opened a branch in the new suburban shopping center in Chestnut Hill, Mass. This company dealt exclusively with harness-making in the pre-automobile era and even today considers saddlery an important department. However, feeling from the start that the automobile is here to stay, the management has long since switched from harness to quality luggage and leather goods. The president of the company is Carroll Dwight, who represents the fourth generation of his family to be actively associated with it.

Here I wish to repeat the announcement made in the column for last June, namely that Walt Sands has agreed to serve as the chairman for our reunion coming up next June. I have assured him that he need only ask for help and it will be forthcoming from the rest of us. At the moment I expect he would welcome most the good word from those who are able now to say that in all likelihood they will attend. I hope to have a message from Walt for next month's column.

Recently I received a copy of the chart known as the Dartmouth College Reunion Plan. It appears that the College provides for no reunion for our class after the one in 1982. Fine thing!
